Wild and Free
Ziggy fourth solo album, Wild and Free, may be his most political and personal to date. Produced with friend and collaborator Don Was, with themes of freedom and responsibility, tempered hope and intemperate love, Wild and Free affirms Marley as a master storyteller with an innate sense of soul. It opens with its title track, "Wild and Free," a rock-fueled reggae anthem with a funky, Stevie Wonder-esque synthesizer solo, written in support of California's Proposition 19 to legalize marijuana. Swapping verses with his friend, actor Woody Harrelson, the two envision "hemp fields growing wild and free" and the far-reaching effects of legalization benefiting small farmers and a myriad of others. From there it's the funky and fun-loving "Forward To Love," segueing into the first of several cautionary songs, "It" (joined by rapper Heavy D), which implores people to examine long-desired goals. Ziggy rides a swift reggae current on "Changes," joined by songwriter/producer Linda Perry as well as his own son, Daniel, who lends vocals.
Marijuanaman
He's a Grammy Award-winning musician, an irrefutable Reggae star, and staunch environmental and social activist. Now ZIGGY MARLEY has stepped into another creative arena with the release of MARIJUANAMAN from Image Comics/Tuff Gong Worldwide.
Based on a character conceived by Ziggy Marley, written by Man of Action Studios JOE CASEY (GODLAND, BUTCHER BAKER) and illustrated by JIM MAHFOOD (KICK DRUM COMIX, MIX TAPE), MARIJUANAMAN promises to shatter all expectations -- this is not the comic you think it is! The oversized deluxe hardcover graphic novel tells the tale of a noble extraterrestrial champion, who has arrived on Earth to deliver an important message, and at the same time save his own planet.
Dancehall Originators
Straight from the Tuff Gong vault:
Dancehall Originators, a new compilation of original dancehall mixes featuring "Hot This Year", one of the riddims that started it all.
Dancehall Originators is the first album in the "Lets Go Back...Way Back" series which showcases the foundation artists and riddims that made dancehall reggae what it is today, and puts them in one fantastic collectors edition package. A must-have for old and new dancehall reggae fans alike.
Dancehall Originators voices Philip Smart's 1992 "HOT THIS YEAR" riddim, which provided the foundation for Frankie Paul's "DAY-O,"Shaggy's "MAMPIE," Red Foxx and Screechy Dan's "POSE OFF," and the hugely successful "HOT THIS YEAR" by the late DJ Dirtsman (PATRICK THOMPSON).
